Is inflation of the currency before the exchange rate to U.S. dollars being taken into account?

This isn't how inflation analysis works. Inflation has one reference point, the year to which you want to relate all other dollar amounts. As such the inflation rate between the year 1978 dollar and the 1986 dollar doesn't matter if you want to actually know what both amounts are in terms of 2012 dollars.

I'm aware of that. I phrased my question poorly, but I discovered the answer myself anyway =p.

Don't mind me.

Why is this relevant? This is applicable to every business transaction ever, not just eSports..

Nice looking article though.

It's relevant exactly because it is applicable to every business transaction ever, and eSports isn't doing a good job of accounting for it.

Yea relevant wasn't the best word choice, of course it's relevant. Perhaps necessary? I guess esports is so young people don't look at earnings in that light.

The problem is that people use these sites and their faulty data in order to draw advertising and sponsorship attention to our scene. That it is misleading at best is bad enough. The fact that the data actually under-represents what people have won over time also does a disservice to the scene which is probably worse.

It would be interesting to see what the average per country after tax growth rates were...but I feel that would introduce too many variables and muddy up your analysis and dilute your statistics. Nice job taking forex into account...most people miss that nuance.
